Mad Season - Long Gone Day, from “Above” album, released on March 14, 1995
[Verse 1: Mark Lanegan]
So much blood I'm starting to drown
Runs from cold to colder
Time to time the sky's comin' down
To help me lose my way
Tears and lies for answers
You and open veins, God knows I'm gone
Girl I just want you to come on down
Lord it's a storm in my head and I fall
These sins are mine and I've done wrong, oh babe
Come on down
Come on down my babe, wrong time I know
[Chorus: Layne Staley & Mark Lanegan]
Long gone day (Woah, woah-oh yeah)
Who ever said we'd wash away with the rain?
[Verse 2: Layne Staley]
See you all from time to time
Isn't it so strange how far away we all are now?
Am I the only one who remembers that summer?
Oh-woah, I remember
Everyday each time the place was saved
The music that we made
The wind has carried all of that away
[Chorus: Layne Staley]
Long gone day
Who ever said we'd wash away with the rain?
[Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 3: Mark Lanegan]
So many tears I'm starting to drown
The rain in heaven's all come down
Silver spoons affix the crown
The luckless ones are broken
Fears and lies for answers
You and open flames
God knows I'm gone
And I just want you to
Come on down
Lord it's a storm in my head and I fall
These sins are mine and I've done wrong
I want you to, oh, I just want you to
Come on down
[Saxophone Solo]
[Outro: Layne Staley]
I fear again, like then, I've lost my way
And shout to God to bring my sunny day

“This brought tears to my eyes remembering that summer of '89 when we were young and innocent and free. Layne and Demri and I walking through the long grasses on the trails of Magnuson Park, heading to meet up with El Steiner, Freedom James, Krisha, Jerry, Betzol, Demitri and others. Demri carrying her conga drum with a scarf wrapped around it, me a bottle and a stick. Layne's hair half in dreads and curls with his goatee braided and one of my beads dangling on the end of it. He wearing ripped up jean shorts and Dem and I in our bikinis. His and Demri's chests bare and golden from the sun, sparkles in our eyes and smiles, lots of smiles...we were going to worship, have a drum circle with our friends on the shores of Lake Washington and swim in it's waters on a hot summer day. That day Layne experienced the Soundgarden for the first time, when you could walk up to it and stand in the middle and listen to the the wind channel sound through the tubes, creating the most beautifully haunting, mystical music. Melancholy years later when he wrote the lyrics, he and Dem were on troubled waters and I in Eastern Washington pregnant with my twins. It was so strange how far away we all were then, and I remember, like Layne, that summer and to this day, like he, I SHOUT to God to bring back my sunny day. It still hurts and I treasure that he wrote those lyrics and mentioned me and friends on the album, for the inspiration of his words and the memory of such a special time. A Long Gone Day.”
The music that we made / The wind has carried all of that away
I fear again, like then I’ve lost my way / And shout to God to bring my sunny day
These 2 instagram posts from today give me the tiniest little itty-bitty feeling of hope even though I know the chances for a 4th season are slim but like, it's been 11 years since Hannibal aired and it's still hugely popular so something is bound to happen right?????? RIGHT????????
Ieri sera io e Dario eravamo in auto nelle lande della Franciacorta. Il sole infuocato, alle nostre spalle, scendeva in direzione Milano mentre di fronte a noi calavano la nebbiolina e l'oscurità dell'innesto con la Valtrompia.
Ad un certo punto, dall'autoradio, è partita una perla dei Mad Season.
Cito Dario:
"La prima volta che mi hai fatto sentire Artificial Red dei Mad Season, mimando la batteria senza sbagliare un colpo, mi hai fatto venire un friccicorio alle palle".
I'm probably in the minority with this but I wish the first 3 arcs of Sailor Moon Crystal were a two-part movie series (like they did with Eternal and Cosmos.).
This will probably make the Crystal fans seethe at the mouth bc God forbid anyone has an opinion different from them. But we probably would've avoided a lot of the embarrassing poor animation choices had they turned the material into two-part movies for each arc. They'd have more time to focus on the good bits that moved the story along. They'd have more time to also focus on the animation quality of the movies.
Maybe, as a result, they could've spent more time honing their character designs versus getting better after three FULL seasons of SMC.
Sorry not sorry, the designs in Eternal and Cosmos are way better than the poor attempts to copy Naoko's style that plagued the first 3 seasons of SMC.
I put this record on just now, and actually went to the trouble of turning the lights down and really letting it roll, and I had myself a little moment.
It’s not a perfect adaptation, I think the biggest thing is they have taken a lot of the fun out of it, Aang doesn’t wanna go do kid stuff, Iroh is way more serious, BUT I don’t necessarily blame like the series itself as much as I blame the current state of tv being in constraints of like 8 episodes and wanting people to binge it in the first few days and everything.
I hope they let Azula be as scary as possible next season, I think they just wanted her introduced a bit earlier since everyone was gonna be waiting for it, I hope they let Iroh chill out a bit more, but in general from my point of view if you see people bashing this series with as much vitriol as the movie then they’re being super dramatic. There are parts that could absolutely be better but like I said those issues go hand in hand with issues with all of tv right now. I think it’s decent at least, I know it’s a beloved series but some people are being HARSH
Mad Season - Lifeless Dead, from “Above” album, released on March 14, 1995
[Verse 1]
Lifeless dead, that unclean bed
'Til or when her hunger's fed
How he'd wished that they would wed
"I promise on our love" she said
Promises were never kept
Alone on dirty floor he slept
[Chorus]
Yeah, lifeless dead
[Verse 2]
And although he'd not accept
She was gone and so he wept
Then a demon came to him
"You must know, I'm gonna win"
[Chorus]
Yeah, lifeless dead
[Verse 3]
He said, she said
She led him dead
He said "We bled"
She said “Not fed”
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Lifeless dead, lifeless dead
Lifeless dead, lifeless dead
Lifeless dead, lifeless dead
Lifeless dead, lifeless dead
Lifeless dead, lifeless dead
Lifeless dead, lifeless dead
Lifeless dead, lifeless dead
